Our View

February 13, 2015

There is a lot to take in this week.
Everywhere we go, the look is the same: grief and resolve and, dare we say it, acceptance.
That isnâ€™t necessarily what you might expect from a community cut into pieces by the Round Fireâ€™s ravaging run, a community that lost almost a quarter of its residences to fire.
Especially the acceptance part.
Many people that lose their homes to a fire never get there, blaming firefighters, their neighbors, the state and federal agencies that manage the land.
